I lost my job, too. I also lost a college buddy of nearly a half century on account of my take on the WuFlu vaxx. As a physician deeply committed to the Party Line--i.e., to Big Pharma propaganda--my old friend took my attacks on the COVID-19 narrative as both a professional and personal affront.

I was willing to drop the subject in my interactions with him, but it was too late. I am now *persona non grata* to him. We live in interesting times.
